=O You were deprived of childhood joys if you don’t know what those are. They’re these little pills and when you let them soak in water they turn into dinosaur sponges. It’s absolute magic when you’re 6.

“You are currently deprived of a childhood” is different from “you were, in the past, deprived,” and the past tense is a good bit more correct. “You were” is not technically a good phrase to contract to “you’re,” and I think Colombe was, not is a child, though you may be if you feel the need to make a comment like that.

the sad thing is, there are diet pills based on this concept.. you take em with water and they promise to turn that water into a thick sludge so you feel full.. I think the same thing’s marketed for constipation..
